I’m introducing you to the feature of Glasp, a way to highlight PDFs on Chrome. Many people are using PDFs to learn, so making and sharing highlights is useful and increases productivity.
Choose a browser you’re going to use: either Google Chrome, Brave, Microsoft Edge, etc.
On your search tab, type in “glasp.co” and you will be automatically directed to the page of Glasp. Or access it from the link below.
Note: Although we have a Safari extension, PDF highlight is unavailable yet. Please wait until we build it for Safari.
Upon reaching it click Sign up (beta) and continue using your Google Account.
After finalizing your account, you will be redirected to the Chrome Web Store.
Click Add to Chrome(Brave or Edge) and install Glasp on your chosen browser.
Once you’ve installed your Glasp extension, go to its home page. Here, you will see the sidebar opened where you can test highlighting words or sentences.
Also, you are free to choose your favorite topics. Choosing your topics could be a leap step as this will help you identify the articles in line with your interests.
Open any PDFs hosted on the web and click the Glasp icon at the top right. It refreshes the page and allows you to start highlighting.
When you select a sentence, you can see a popup showing up, so please click any color you want.
Tips: If you click the Glasp icon on a PDF, you can see a menu below. You can open the Glasp’s sidebar, switch to the original PDF, and see document properties.
Please open Glasp’s Home page. You can go there by typing “glasp.co” on Chrome’s search bar or clicking the Glasp icon at the top right of the sidebar through the Chrome extension.
After that, please go to the My Highlights page by clicking at the top left.
On your My Highlights page, you can:
add to your favorite (red oval)
copy all the highlights and notes (red oval)
share the highlighted page (red oval)
delete the highlighted page (red oval)
add a category tag to the article (red square)
add an author to the article (red square)
leave your comments (red arrow)
You would encounter an issue sometime. In that case, please refresh the page and retry highlighting it. And we’ll update the feature so that you can make highlights PDFs on Safari. Please wait until it’s released.
If you’d like to see the tutorial on a video, please go to the link below.
